ExcelBanter - Chinese characters

Re Manju,
I think that you could do something like that:
1- Create an empty file
2- Convert it with format UTF-8.
3- Append your data

Sub Create_UTF8_File()
Const File$ = "C:\FileTest.csv"
Dim Fso, MyFile
Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set MyFile = Fso.CreateTextFile(File, True)
MyFile.Close
With CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
..Open
..LoadFromFile File
..Position = 0
..CharSet = "UTF-8"
..SaveToFile File, 2
..Close
End With
'Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8
Set MyFile = Fso.OpenTextFile(File, 8, True, True)
' Just for the example:
MyFile.WriteLine ChrW(31532) & ChrW(&H4F60) & ChrW(&H597D) _
& ChrW(59) & ChrW(&H6771) & ChrW(&H4EAC)
MyFile.WriteLine ChrW(&H4EAC) & ChrW(&H90FD) & ChrW(59) _
& ChrW(&H65B0) & ChrW(&H6F5F) & ChrW(&H21)
MyFile.Close
Set MyFile = Nothing: Set Fso = Nothing
End Sub

Hi Michel,

That worked !! Thanks a lot.

But still I'm seeing "??" marks instead of chinese characters in CSV
file. Do you have any idea about this?

Thanks in advance.

Manju

Re Manju,
Excuse me, there is an error of text in the procedure, one needs an equal
sign between .CharSet and SetChar:
.CharSet = SetChar ' sets stream encoding (UTF-8)

Hi Michel,

Thanks a lot for the response. I'm getting "450 Wrong number of
arguments or invalid property assignment" error when I use the below
code.

Since I'm very new to VB, please bare with me. Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Manju,
Write your csv file in first and try to convert it then into sending the
full path name of your file like argument to the procedure below:

Sub Encode(ByVal sPath$, Optional SetChar$ = "UTF-8")
With CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
.Open
.LoadFromFile sPath ' Loads a File
.Charset SetChar ' sets stream encoding (UTF-8)
.SaveToFile sPath, 2 ' adSaveCreateOverWrite
.Close
End With
End Sub

Hi All,

I'm facing problem while showing the Chinese characters in CSV file.
I'm using Open for Append Access Write As method to create the CSV
file
programmatically. If I set the CSV file character set to UTF-8 then I
can display the Chinese characters. But I'm not able to set the CSV
character set to UTF-8 programmatically.

I'm using VB6.0 for this.

If anybody knows this please let me know. Thanks a lot in advance.

With love,
Manju
